A highway in Utah may be renamed for President Donald Trump after the president downsized two national monuments, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase, potentially opening wide areas to mining and development.
Republican State Rep. Mike Noel thought it would be nice to rename the highway that runs through the parks.

“I felt like it was an opportunity to thank the president," Noel said.
But Democratic State Sen. Jim Dabakis plans to counterattack with a mocking amendment, to rename a service road Stormy Daniels Rampway, after the adult film star linked to President Trump.
The name beats competitors, such as "Combover Crescent, Indictment Intersection, Russian Collusion Cloverleaf," Dabakis said.
And even if there's no service road available, the democratic gadfly said he would settle for "Stormy Daniels Emergency Lane."
Dabakis just doesn't think it's right to post Trump's name on what he says is the most beautiful scenic byway in America.
"It's preposterous," he said.
However, he said he doesn’t think he can stop it.
It's estimated the new Donald J. Trump Highway signage would cost around $124,000.
Stormy Daniels Rampway is a dead end, CNN’s Jeanne Moos noted. The Democrats are outnumbered in the Utah State Senate.
